I cant answer for the first two. I never felt there were enough role playing aspects in 3 or 4. I would say skyrim. Although I can see putting morrowind ahead cause their are more factions. Still I tgink skyrim wins cause of the mire mundane activities you can perform.

If I ever cared about what you had to say, I'd stick a shotgun in my mouth and pull the trigger with my toes.

I only played this and Oblivion but imo Skyrim is much better for roleplaying. I guess that's just because the world in Skyrim seems more alive and I like to really get into a character and how he interacts with people. But also because of the perk trees which allows/forces you to map out a character, and there are a lot of useful perks that make it possible to play a character who, for example, relies mostly on pickpocketing to survive. I tried rping in Oblivion but somehow it just felt meaningless because at the end of the day you have to resort to melee or magic combat, since sneak attacks weren't as powerful either.
